Well ive never taken a cycle but i do have acne like a mofo ... Ive been told on cycle you should stay away from the acne meds for the stress it puts on your liver. I would say shower 2 times a day once in the am and once after working out, go tanning, and take some skinB5. Again this is just what ive been told by many seeings how ive asked the same question many many times.
